Displaying a PDF file using UMG 3D Widet.. possible?

you can use ViewerJS for that. It works perfect. There is no UE4 side coding.

Quick Instruction:

  • Download “Viewer JS” ViewerJS Get ViewerJS
  • Install Wamp (you can use another server)
  • Create a folder in “www” with a name which you desire (mine is PDF_Viewer)
  • copy “ViewerJS” folder and its contents from zip to created folder in www
  • Create another folder in PDF_Viewer (or what you call your first created folder) (mine is PDFs)
  • start wamp
  • Point UE4 Web Browser Widget to “localhost/PDF_Viewer/ViewerJS/#…/PDFs/file.pdf”

NOTE:
With this JS, you can show “.pdf / .odt / .ods / .odp” files

ODT = Open source version of .docx. Word can export
ODS = Open source version of .xlsx. Excel can export
ODP = Open source version of .pptx. Power Point can export.
